Comparison of the efficacy of long-term self-administration of subcutaneous human chorionic gonadotrophin with intramuscular exogenous testosterone (Sustanon) in male hypogonadism

Male hypogonadism can occur either due to disorders at the hypothalamic or pituitary levels or as a result of primary testicular failure. Conventionally, testosterone is replaced by depot intramuscular injections of testoterone esters or as implants producing non-physiological levels of serum testosterone. Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) given twice-weekly s.c., stimulates endogenous testosterone secretion through its LH like action resulting in physiological serum testost...

ObjectivesRemoval of fat results in compensatory weight gain in animals. The objective of this study was to examine changes in weight and fat mass in patients who underwent lipectomy at abdominoplasty and bilateral breast reduction.MethodsIn a retrospective analysis, weight changes in 16 patients who had abdominoplasty and 17 patients who received bilateral breast reduction surgery were compared with 16 patie...
